Powder Brown Tang

[ibondy]

Hello,
Nticed today some white spots on my tang. Bigger on one side and smaller on the other. Looks like they are raised and white. Tang appears happy going after his business, I have him for over a month.
Anything I should be worry about?

Thank you!

Thought you had a tang hitchhike home hidden in some rock...... dang.

LOL, that would be a day.

Nope no worries. He scraped himself on something. A common misconception about tangs or any fish for that matter is that any little white spot or Mark is ich or velvet, it's not. The white marks that people see on their tangs are from any scrape scratch bump or irritation. What you're seeing is the scab

Great news, I was getting a little worried. He likes to swim between rocks and your explanation make a sense. Thank you!

Here is the whole guy. :) I love his colors and personality.

I agree it's from brushing a rock or possibly brushed a coral. It happens. It should heal itself. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it is improving.
